Metalworking: An Ancient Art
Metalworking has been known since ancient times. Examples of the craft have been found by archaeologists as they dig back through centuries in our earth. It’s still a popular art form today with metal art and jewelry making being foremost. But you can dress up your outdoor living space with metal patio wall decor without busting your budget. If you’re looking to decorate your patio, veranda, lanai or any outdoor living space, consider metal art for the walls. Metal weathers well, isn’t bothered by sun, wind or inclement weather. It seemingly lasts forever, which is why it’s found by archaeologists so frequently.
A Popular Theme: The Sun and Moon
When you use your porch, patio, lanai or veranda for either time of day, it’s fitting to have the moon and the sun represented there. This is probably the most popular theme of all, and found in various stages of lunar or solar development, either separately or together, on thousands of walls. There are several styles to be found, two of which I’ve shown below. If you prefer another style click on one of these and ask for sun and moon metal wall art.

A popular theme for the patio, the sun and moon pattern. Works beautifully anywhere, inside or outside. You can’t go wrong with metal, because it will look beautiful for many years not matter where it is displayed.
A Different Kind of Refraction
Most of us think of the word refraction in connection with a visit to our eye doctor, when he uses a “phoropter,” trying hundreds of different lenses for your eyes to determine possible refractive error such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. In metalworking there’s a different type of refraxion, indicating a certain way the metal is cut. When it is cut with certain lines, it combines light with dimension, which changes the appearance of the wall art sculpture from different angles of viewing. This is refraxion, which is the spelling usually used in the terms of metal working. This is what gives that “hologram” look to items of metal that are cut with this method. The sun face below is done with that same technique.

The Fleur-de-Lis, from the French Coat of Arms, is a popular pattern due to its flowing, graceful lines. You will find this pattern throughout metal wall art, as it decorates your wall gracefully and beautifully. You don’t have to be French to like this artwork, though many who have French ancestry do show it in this way. Oddly enough, many pieces of wall art containing the Fleur-de-Lis, call it “Tuscany Style,” which of course would be Italian.

Nancy, I’m a huge fan of metal art, and rod-iron in general, would love to change our wooden staircase railing to a rod iron railing and add a ton art like this – One really nice piece I have is now in my mom’s washroom – it worked better in her new remodel so I handed it over 🙂
Barbara, I love these pieces too, and if I could stand to be out on the patio or my deck in the summer, I’d love to have some of them. But the heat here from April until November gets really unbearable, mostly over 100 degrees a good portion of that time. You need to find some good pieces for your own collection. 🙂 Maybe not these, but I’m sure there are original artists in your area who do beautiful work.
I love the Tuscan Fleur De Lis panels, they’re lovely – shame I haven’t got anywhere to put something like that… yet! 🙂
Thanks DreyaB, keep us in mind when you do! 🙂 appreciate the visit!
